After taking several weeks of vacation, I’m back on duty and noticed that the top-read Denver Post college blog in the past 48 hours was a Feb. 2 item that I wrote about the Colorado vs. Colorado State football game being moved to Sunday, Sept. 2.

That is no longer the case.

For those that may have missed it, CU and CSU announced on June 14 that the opener for both teams was moved back to Sept. 1, a traditional Saturday afternoon date. Kickoff will be 2 p.m. at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, with the telecast on FX.

I’d never heard of a game being switched back to its original date, but TV rules, as we know.

According to Rivals.com, the Colorado Buffs and Colorado State are the first two major-college programs to offer Jayon Brown, a three-star senior-to-be outside linebacker at traditonal power Long Beach Poly.

Brown, with room to add bulk and strength to his athletic 6-foot-1, 195-pound frame, also is getting looks from CU’s rival Pac-12 schools UCLA, Utah and Washingon.

Terry Frei graduated from Wheat Ridge High School in the Denver area and has degrees in history and journalism from the University of Colorado-Boulder. He worked for the Rocky Mountain News while attending CU and joined the Post staff after graduation. He has also worked at the Oregonian in Portland, Ore., and The Sporting News. His seventh book, March 1939: Before the Madness, was issued in February 2014.
